Big backup Ben Bishop, 26, was in net for the team’s lone regulation loss as the Senators dropped a 6-4 decision to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Jan. 25. Perhaps Bishop (and 21-year-old prospect Robin Lehner) will eventually challenge Anderson in the future, but the veteran goalie has a strong hold over the No. 1 job right now.

Anderson is picking up where he left off last year. The guy is a Vezina candidate and the Sens are not going away. This team is good and with Anderson playing like he is capable off I predict this team goes far in the playoffs. Alfie is going out with the Cup!
